Bonsai Birthday Presents + Fukien Tea Bonsai Show Prep

[@TheBonsaiZone]

The Hemlock forest looks really good Jay and I love the Fukien Tea all dressed up! Bonsai show, here we go! Nice to see such a good haul on your birthday!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Nigel! I was definitely spoiled! Don’t think the big cedar was ready, so the hemlock forest (if it lives) is a good substitute for the show! 🐦💙

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Happy belated birthday - bonsai just gets better as you get older. We all know that with age comes beauty and grace. Now where have i seen that written down before... I do love that Fulkien and I wish you loads of luck. Crocs will never outdo my aussie bonsai sheepskin slippers which keep me warm when im donw 'the bottom of the garden'. I don't know how I let this go by for 3 days without noticing. Sorry :)

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thank you Xavier! All good, we all have things to do.. can’t watch every video the minute they come out… believe me I tried and got burnt out! Those slippers sound perfect for the upcoming winter! 🐦💙

[@andersnrregren9087]

Lucky you! You most feel loved after gifts like that

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Anders! I feel loved .. and spoiled! 🤣😂🐦💙

[@BonsaiMethod]

HBD BJ! Extraordinary looking trees, and all the gifts. Have a great year and show!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Christopher! 🐦💙

[@guywatson-bognorregisbonsa7370]

Looks like you had a great Birthday Jay. Your Hemlock forest looks fantastic - congratulations ! 👍👍

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Guy! Much appreciated! 🐦💙

[@geofftrivers5078]

Holy moly. I love the hemlock forest. Awesome tree, stone and rock composition. And happy birthday!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

⭐️Thanks Geoff!

[@sonichedgehog8723]

I'm a Crocs man myself. Nigel's a smart man. I still don't know how he trims with those mits as hands he has. Nice video.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

⭐️Thanks Sonic! They look bigger on video I think.. the camera adds 10 pounds! 🤣😂

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Great birthday haul. You have better luck with Fukien Tea than I do 😂

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Jason! Luckily my friend Mario did the hard part, and now I am just the caretaker of his work! 🐦💙

[@sbragaglia]

The forest looks amazing! So jelly! 😻 I have a bunch of Scot’s and red pines, as well as larches growing… in 5 years I’ll have something nice to compare to yours! 💪

[@sbragaglia]

Moss is very nice, but that pot is gorgeous!

[@sbragaglia]

Oh, come on! That is a “minor ache cam”!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

⭐️ha ha, that’s right! 😂

[@baldyeti]

Daggum, nice Bday haul! I’m really diggin on your hemlock forest! Hoping the assembly is a future video! The Fukien is looking pretty wicked! I like where you’re taking it, Jay. Happy Bday, brother

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Billy! Fukien great birthday indeed! 😂🤣🐦💙

[@jonathanaristone2468]

Hi Jay, very nice stands, pots and love the Hemlock composition as well. Hope to see you at the Shows.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Thanks Jon! See ya there for sure! 🐦💙

[@TonysBonsai]

Some really nice gifts there Jay. You did very well I'd say!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

🌟Yes, thanks Tony! I am very blessed/spoiled indeed! 🐦💙

[@TonysBonsai]

I must be honest though I was a little disappointed that you didn't show the gift that I sent you. I would have thought a 200 year old itoigawa Japanese juniper in an antique tokoname pot would have got a mention. Never mind though I'm sure you'll send me an equally impressive present on my birthday 🤣🤣

[@bendapliyan3138]

Happy belated Birthday, Jay! I love the spooky fukien. It has all kinds of twists and bends. Also, the hemlock forest composition is great! To answer your question about the blue spruce, yes that's the potential front of the tree.

[@mattbrennan647]

@@BlueJayBonsai, Where’d you get those hemlock seedlings?

[@BlueJayBonsai]

@@mattbrennan647 it was from the $9.99 for any tree in a 1 gal pot nursery.. called Northland. We went there after the club trip to Vineland earlier this year. I didn’t film that part as it was hot hot hot and I was worn out already.

Fukien tea is one of the few species I still have trouble keeping alive. Good job on yours!
